Why upgrade

Your switchboard runs your whole property

Every circuit in your home or business starts at the switchboard. Older boards were built for fewer appliances, and many still use ceramic fuses with no safety switches at all.

A modern board with circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs) cuts the risk of electric shock and electrical fires, handles today's appliances, and gives you room to add more, like air conditioning, an EV charger or a renovation.

Signs it's time for an upgrade

  • You still have ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers
  • Breakers or safety switches trip often
  • There are no safety switches (RCDs), or they've never been tested
  • The board feels warm, buzzes or smells like burning
  • Lights flicker when big appliances turn on
  • You're renovating or need extra circuits
  • You're adding air con, an EV charger or an induction cooktop

Questions

Switchboard questions

How do I know if my switchboard needs an upgrade?

Common signs are breakers that trip often, flickering lights, ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, no safety switches, or a board that feels warm. If you've renovated or added high-power appliances, your board may also need more capacity. We can check it and tell you straight.

What are the benefits of upgrading?

A modern switchboard lowers the risk of electrical fires and shocks, meets current Australian standards, and handles the load of today's appliances. It also makes it easier to add things like air conditioning, an EV charger or solar later on.

Can I upgrade my switchboard myself?

No. Switchboard work must be done by a licensed electrician. Doing it yourself is dangerous and won't meet Queensland's electrical safety rules.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Every switchboard we install is tested, and you get a Certificate of Testing and Compliance for your records.
